1. Requirement

Hybrid suspend is an optional feature, and so if you're not interested, please skip this section.

2. Description

Suspend
Sends your computer to a very low-power sleep
Hibernate
Powers off the computer completely, but first saves its state (your open applications and work)
Hybrid suspend
Sends the computer to sleep, but first saves its state

3. Benefits

Powering off your computer means that you have to close all applications, and reopen them when you power on. Suspending and hibernating save your state, so that when you return to your computer, you can immediately continue from where you left off.

4. Caveat

Not all hardware successfully supports hybrid suspend, and as Ubuntu does not directly support it, this means that it is not guaranteed to work. However, if you choose to try it, the instructions tell you how to enable it, and you can test it on your own machine.
